To determine if 5353 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5353.
If the factors of 5353 are only 5353 and 1, then we know that 5353 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5353 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5353 is only divisible by 1 and 5353, then it is a prime number, and if 5353 is divisible by more than 5353 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5353 are as follows:
1, 53, 101, 5353
Therefore, since 5353 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5353 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
